India is locking horns against New Zealand in the ongoing first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at Old Trafford in Manchester on Tuesday. The fans were earlier deprived of a contest between these two teams in the league stages as the match was washed out due to rain. At the same time, the two teams will be meeting each other in a World Cup clash after 16 long years.
